Cofgirgus Vs Dusclops w/ Eviloite?

Question

I need a powerful Ghost wall in UU, thanks to all those fighting types running amok of things. Both fit my bill, and both can provide W.O.W support. I need some help splitting them up a bit. Thanks!

Answer 1

I would suggest Cofagrigus if only for one move: Haze.

While neither have a very good offensive presence, esp. when used as a wall, at least Cofagrigus can deal with calm mind/ bulk up stallers.

Cofagrigus also has the rather useful ability in Mummy, so Guts Pokemon like Heracross will have their ability negated.

Cofagrigus @ Leftovers
Ability: Mummy
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Def, 4 Def
Nature: Calm
- Will-O-Wisp
- Haze
- Shadow Ball
- Pain Split/ Rest

If you have a cleric like Umbreon on your team with Heal Bell, Rest is a more viable possibility.

Dusclops might outweigh Cofagrigus (or most other Pokemon) with Eviolite, but it forfeits leftovers recovery. It could be used for a good Curse set though, which will force your opponent to switch Pokemon. However, it has no reliable method of recovery, as Pain Split isn't reliable in any way.

Answer 2

Dusclops!!!

Dusclops @ Eviolite
Trait: Pressure
EVs 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD'
Bold Nature

Seismic Toss / Night Shade
Will-O-Wisp
Pain Split
Rest

Seismic Toss or Night Shade
Because I dont know what that is most common in UU.
Seismic toss for hitting Snorlax / Togekiss / Porygon-Z etc

um...why Dusclops? And you should really have at least some experience in UU before answering questions like this..or at least know your theory well. But +1 for effort!
